HELP US TO HELP YOU!

We often experience a high demand for our services, particularly in the mornings, and especially on Mondays. We would very much appreciate your assistance in trying to manage this and help to free the telphone lines for other important matters. If you need to order a prescription please try to avoid ringing in the mornings, escpecially on a Monday.

We have a dedicated prescription line (01432 265269) which is available 9am - 1pm & 2pm - 4pm Monday to Friday. You may also wish to consider one of the following alternative ways to order your repeat prescriptions:

1. Order on-line using the link above to online services

2. Complete the right hand side of your prescription and deposit it in the wall mounted prescription box at the surgery.

Please remember to allow 2 working days before collecting your prescription.

Patient Registration

You have to be registered with the practice to use the services. For emergencies, temporary registration can be obtained.

The practice constantly tries to improve the service offered. To assist in providing you with this service we need to ensure we are the right team for you. To do this and also to obtain some of your medical background we need you to have a NEW PATIENT MEDICAL. The medical covers basic information about you and your health. Please contact reception to make an appointment.

YOU ARE NOT FULLY REGISTERED UNTIL THIS HAS OCCURRED.
